It's A Stuckey Thing

A note from the editor

Warrior’s Heart in San Antonio, Texas, is a full-service rehabilitation center providing inpatient treatment for chemical dependency, alcohol abuse, PTSD, and mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). Helping anyone with these conditions is a heavy lift for even mentalhealth professionals to take on. Nonetheless, the highly skilled, caring staff at Warrior’s Heart do exactly that with great commitment and success.

For most folks who endure it, the idea that conquering addiction as a “duty assignment” that must be executed alone is just a bridge too far. Which is why so many simply don’t manage to cross it.

AND YET, WITH HELP …

On a quest to assist affected Veterans and First Responders that he knew get out of the snarl of addiction, AHERO’s Lee Stuckey heard and responded to reports of a rehabilitation center that was having extraordinary results with their treatment program. This was Warrior’s Heart, whose focus, he learned, was on helping affected military Veterans and First Responders specifically.

Marine-trained to resist confusing rumor with actual fact, Stuckey did that “trust, but verify” thing: He got all the information he could on the place. He verified. Then he did that other Stuckey thing: He helped a fellow Veteran, a retired police officer, benefit from the Warrior’s Heart program. Then he helped another Veteran: Trey Whitaker

Trey’s story follows on the next page.

During his visit to Warrior's Heart this spring, Lee met with (among others) Justin Jordan, director of Admissions, and fellow Adnssions team member, Ingrid Lacy.
